It is made with 100% cotton is a washable and reusable mask, though they stress that it is non-medical grade and is not intended to replace medical-grade PPE.
Though originally a mask, it appears Karina is slim enough that aespa's stylist simply needed to modify the top to have straps and to cover her back to create a crop top for the idol!
Karina, the group's tallest member at 167cm, is known for her amazing physique. She had been complimented for her Barbie-like figure and has even been dubbed by South Korean news outlets as the idol that could most likely become a model. Though always known for her visuals and physique, her wearing a mask as a top totally proves she has unreal proportions!
